    Bought a new computer with Windows 10 preinstalled - friends tell me I should re-install it...


    I've heard a few times that settings can change and yada yada yada but I really don't know the benefit of a clean install on a computer with nothing installed but windows itself. Are there settings that I'd want to change? Is it a privacy thing?

    How do I go about doing this if there is a good reason?

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
